Every year, tens of thousands of people gather in San Francisco for Dreamforce — the world’s largest software conference and Salesforce’s annual four-day extravaganza filled with innovation, fun, and giving back.

Attendees also get to hear firsthand from some of the greatest entrepreneurs, innovators, and visionaries of our time, and 2014 was no exception. The latest iteration of Dreamforce featured live keynotes and talks from luminaries in technology, government, music, and more.

What the E-Book is About
